river-road

time
soaking this thing called life
weaver of harmony and deep truth
which is more than light
more than dark
gratitude for learning by heart
flowing forward
giving real love
that realised
in absence, in surface tension and storms
wisdom extracting from pain
dreams
of true hope
goodness following upon goodness
ready for love's joy
full of promise
grace for those whose hearts
have done their time
have kept faith
have broken open
already
present and saturated with kindness
